Scorn. Abuse. Betrayal.

From bonebreaker in the employ of a heartless moneylender, to fugitive from the law, life isn’t easy for a gutter-born sellsword like Geth. When one final injustice lands him on the run, his next stop is the hanging tree, until one man sees past his flaws to offer a fresh start.

But that young man could be the one person in all the wide world with more enemies than him.

Beside a throne encircled by enemies, within a realm threatened by savage tribes, Geth must protect a fledgling king at all costs. No one appreciates his deadly talents more, and no one is in greater need of a strong sword-arm by his side.

Life isn’t simple for a Demon Hunter.

James Crowley met his mortal end in a hail of gunfire. Now, he finds himself in purgatory, serving the White Throne to avoid falling to hell. Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his servitude and fade away.

His not-so-sacred duty as a Hand of God? Use his new abilities to hunt down demonic beings that have infiltrated the mortal realm.

This time, the White Throne has sent him to the middle of nowhere: a western town called Dead Acre with a saloon, a moldy church, and little else worth talking about. There isn’t even a sheriff. But the local cobbler has gone missing at the same time as a number of graves were desecrated.

Crowley must follow the clues, all while dealing with a cutthroat gang which treats Dead Acre like they own it.
